I installed the Stingray Starfire Hydrofoil per the specifications. I've been doing all my own boat mechanical and electrical work for years, so not a novice here. After an initial water test, the hydrofoil held tight, but on the first trip out, I came back with no hydrofoil and I had used the no drill installation option. While the hydrofoil was on, I experienced a noticeable uplift in performance. My boat is an ex-marine rescue inflatable RIB, with a Suzuki 90 installed.

StingRay StarFire Hydrofoil Stabilizer StingRay StarFire Hydrofoil Stabilizer StarFire fits on most outboards and sterndrives 40HP and up. Installation takes under 5 minutes with minimal effort and requires ZERO holes to be drilled in your engine!
Reattach the torque tab with the StingRay XRIII still in place so that the torque tab clamps the hydrofoil in place. If the hydrofoil can be moved from side to side on the cavitation plate, insert the two (2) bolts from the bottom up through the slots in the front of the hydrofoil. Stingray SR-XRIII-1 Hydrofoil XRIII Hydro Foil Fin Stabilizer 75 to 300 HP Black. For sale, a new hydrofoil with two piece construction for easy installation.
Other competitors require over 50 parts, assemblies, and sub-assemblies to go with their add-on clips, clamps, and adapters. StarFire only needs 2 set screws for installation!
'Delta-Wing' Profile The StarFire sports a swept back Delta-wing profile. It also has a unique, inverted trailing edge. This allows drag to be relieved while increasing fuel economy and top-end speed! Extended Wing Tips While competitor hydrofoils pull their wing tips forward, the StarFire’s extended wing tips were specifically designed to be fantastic stabilizers once the boat is up on plane.
Optimized Curvature StarFire’s overall curvature profile was designed and optimized to be super-sleek. It hugs the anti-cavitation plate extremely close, preventing excess drag other competitor hydrofoils can experience. The result is a hydrofoil that provides maximum performance every time it’s in the water! Item Number: MS8701 BART'S: $79.99.
